Data Centre
Refrigeration Technology Enhancing Energy Efficiencies in Data Centres
Data centres are the backbone of the digital economy, powering everything from cloud services to global communications. However, their reliance on energy-intensive cooling systems makes them one of the largest consumers of electricity worldwide. Cooling accounts for approximately 40% of a data centre's total energy consumption, highlighting the need for more energy-efficient refrigeration solutions.
Key Challenges Include:
High Energy Consumption: Cooling systems require vast amounts of electricity to maintain optimal server temperatures.
Environmental Impact: Inefficient cooling contributes significantly to CO₂ emissions and resource depletion.
Operational Costs: Rising energy prices and cooling demands increase operational expenses for data centre operators.
As data demands grow exponentially and net-zero targets become a priority, adopting innovative refrigeration technologies is essential to balance efficiency, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.
Electricity expenses account for 40%-60% of operation cost
Tree Associates’ revolutionary refrigeration technology addresses the critical energy challenges faced by data centres. By integrating our two-phase turbine expander into CO₂ trans-critical cooling systems, we offer a solution designed to enhance efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and lower operational costs.
Key Features of Tree Associates' Refrigeration Technology:
Energy Recovery: Captures expansion energy and converts it into usable electrical power, cutting electricity consumption by up to 40%.
Retrofit Capability: Seamlessly integrates with existing data centre cooling systems, reducing downtime and installation costs.
Scalability: Suitable for both small server rooms and large hyperscale data centres, adapting to varying cooling demands.
Sustainable Cooling: Utilises CO₂ refrigerants, which have a lower global warming potential (GWP) compared to traditional refrigerants.
By adopting Tree Associates' refrigeration technology, data centres can optimise energy use, reduce environmental impact, and future-proof their operations against rising energy costs and stricter sustainability regulations.
